The unit which beat the previous record it set in February 2013 spudded a well in 10,411 feet (3,174m) of water while working off the east coast of India. The unit which is being sublet by ONGC from Reliance Industries is due to end its four year drilling assignment with ONGC once it has completed the newly spudded well. Upon completion the unit will return to Reliance for the final remaining year of its original five year contract.
